After much speculation Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon have confirmed that they are indeed expecting their first child. The couple also revealed that the happy news comes after they tragically suffered a miscarriage two years ago.
Full story and video after the jump…
Via Access:
In a new, exclusive interview with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush from inside the couple’s Manhattan home, Mariah and Nick confirmed they are expecting their first child together.
“Yes, we are pregnant, this is true!” Mariah told Billy of the baby that is due this spring. “It’s been a long journey. It’s been tough because I’ve been trying to hold on to a shred of privacy.”
Mariah said that after months of media speculation, she had to speak out.
“At this point, there is no choice. I either talk or I hibernate,” she said.
In the interview, which will air on Access Hollywood on Thursday, Mariah and Nick spoke candidly about their journey together, which included a terrifying miscarriage they experienced not quite two years ago. Mariah and Nick revealed they were getting ready to tell their friends and family the good news that they were expecting over the holidays back at that time, when they found out she was no longer pregnant.
“It kind of shook us both and took us into a place that was really dark and difficult,” Mariah told Billy about the devastating miscarriage. “When that happened… I wasn’t able to even talk to anybody about it. That was not easy.”
After the miscarriage, Nick said that the experience has made them stronger as a couple and he admires Mariah’s strength.
“It definitely brought us closer together,” Nick told Billy. “It strengthened our relationship so much… She handled it so well.”
Now that the word is out, Mariah and Nick say they plan to celebrate together and with their friends and family.
“The greatest gift on earth is a child,” Nick said. “We’ve had names picked out from the first day we met and we want to stay true to that.”
Mariah’s new CD, “Merry Christmas II You,” is due out on November 2.
For more of Billy’s interview with the couple, tune into Access Hollywood on Thursday and Friday.
And there you have it. The diva is with child!

Congrats Mimi!
@Lulu Go and get bent.
*IF THERES A SANDWHICH UP IN HERE THEN IT’S GONE LEAVE WITH ME WHEN I DOOO*
SOOO MANY HATERS! “OHH SHES NOT PREGNANT” ” THIS IS PART OF HER MARKETING”
“SHES FAKE” “SHE CANT SING ANYMORE” well b******, if mariah cant sing anymore, how come shes belting like she hasnt done in years and shes re singing all i want for christmas and sounding MOSTLY THE SAME?! HAAAAATERRRRRS HATE! shes still more successful than your favorite LMAOOO
Yay Im so happy
I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU MC, YOU GOT YO CAREER RUINED BY A Z LIST TANGO HOOD QUEEN AKA NICK CANON, IMMA PRAY FOR YOU MAMA !!!
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
I am so truly happy for them !! Of course we could see the weight gain but given her age and the previous miscarriage I can understand why they wanted to wait to announce it. I was concerned that she’s kept working throughout but I guess her doc said it’s ok (especially after that fall she took last month).
Congrats to Mariah and Nick! SMH at the ignorance on this post.
Pregnancy does not suddenly make you relevant again Mariah just want u to know #justsaying.
Yes! A baby Mimi, their child will be beautiful. Hopefully, she has no more complications. Stay away from the alcohol Mariah. You’re making us lambs worried
Wow congrats Mariah!!!! You will make a wonderful mom!
JUST AS THE ALBUM IS ABOUT TO DROP SHE DECIDES TO TELL US SHE LOST A BABY, SMDH……..IF THIS WAS ANY OTHER FEMALE SINGER, YOU’D BE SAYING EXACTLY THE SAME THING, TRENT GOT YOU WHIPPED SMANTHA !!!
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
Wow, so many hateful comments kicking this thread off. You all must be very, very unhappy people.
I do not understand why certain woman insist on having children after the age of 35. I can’t imagine having a 60yr old mom with dentures when I am just turning 18.
Congrats to all mariah’s lambs for more one baby whale in the world
OMG I’m SO happy for her and Nick! God bless them and the little one. Mariah’s like the only celebrity that I care about.
LOOOL at all these internet haters who sit with their fat asses, slouched in a computer chair refreshing the page and waiting for a new piece of news to hate on..
B**** jus because nothing good happening in ur life u get ur thrill out of bringing other people down
FOR THE DUMBASS PPL MAKING COMMENTS SUCH AS “WHY NOW”… ASK GOD, OBVIOUSLY SHE IS A MIDDLE AGED WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN FINDING IT DIFFICULT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN BACK IN 2008 IF SHE DIDNT SUFFER A MISCARRIAGE.
LULU, YOU REALLY THINK A 40 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO HAS ALREADY SUFFERED A MISCARRIAGE AND FOR TWO YEARS SINCE THEN BEEN TRYING TO GET PREGNANT, IS GOING TO FIND THE TIME OF DAY, TO SCHEDULE A PREGNANCY TO COINCIDE WITH THE RELEASE OF A CHRISTMAS ALBUM?
DARLING. THE DURATION OF A PREGNANCY IS NINE MONTHS. MARIAH CLEARLY HASNT BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO CHOOSE WHEN SHE CONCIEVES AND IS NOW AT A STAGE OF HER PREGNANCY WHERE SHE CAN NO LONGER HIDE IT. LIKE SHE SAID, “ITS EITHER I TELL EVERYONE OR HIBERNATE”. SHE HAS ALL PROMO APPEARANCES COMING UP FOR THIS ALBUM, YOU REALLY THINK INTERVIEWERS WOULDNT BE ASKING WHAT THAT BUMP IS, OR IF SHES PREGNANT, ETCETC, YOU THINK SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO DODGE IT ALL THE WAY UNTIL LIKE, JANUARY ATLEAST? SHE KNEW SHE WAS GONNA HAVE TO FESS UP AT ONE POINT, BETTA TAKE HER OWN PRIVATE PERSONAL SITUATION AND DO IT HERSELF THEN BE FORCED INTO IT. GIRL YOU DUMB. SIT DOWN.
Anyway, congratulations to Nick and Mariah, xx
#ThatsAll
WELL DONE USING THE BABY YOU LOST AS PROMO MARIAH….
HOPE YOU CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING YOU USED YOUR DEAD BABY AS A PROMO TOOL FOR ANOTHER OF YOUR CHEESY OVERPRODUCED AUTOTUNED ALBUMS……
IMMA PRAY ON THIS ISH……
Congratulations Mariah 🙂 ,,,and shaking my head at the ignorance in this post…
For the love of Dear Lord, Sam & Trent please BAN this ballistic, mean creature Danboofficial. From her hideous avatar to the disgusting attitude this person pollutes TGJ we all visit for our daily music fix. Please ban this hateful, sickening creature.
Moving on, we’re all happy for Mariah and Nick. Congratulations to the Cannons! 🙂
WTF is you guys problem? Why such harsh and hateful comments towards Mariah? It’s not like she’s an ignorant a** mean b**ch who won’t take care of her child. You guys are truly pathetic and need to STFU! Congrats to Mariah. That’s sad that she had a miscarriage! And y’all don’t even care? At least she waited until she was married, old enough, and well established in her career to start a family instead of doing it when she was a t*** or young adult with her boyfriend and no career! I absolutely love Mariah’s tone of voice/accent! And she is very intelligent and extremely articulate!
wow.. these comments are HORRIBLE. I hope you know nothing good will come to you OR your children for behaving this way. This is RIDICULOUS!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That baby will be so stunning!
F*** All you asholes talking s*** about her!!
Congrats to Mariah and Nick!!! 🙂
The biggest congratulation to happiest and luckiest couple on the Earth, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.
P.S. No time for hating Only Goat (In the Farm) fans.
Some peoples comments are soo sad I have to wonder if there is any compassion in their household..
Congrats to Mariah & Nick..
If it’s a girl i know a singer will be born..
GOOD LUCK n Keep Safe
Everybody ignore the troll danbofficial. He mad lol
Wow, some people just spew hate like their lives depend on it. I’m happy that she’s pregnant… I can’t imagine the joy she n Nick are experience. For that FOOL who said parents in their 60s have dentures is sadly mistaken. I always tease my parents for being old [i’m 21, dad is 61 and mum is 60] but they’re in damn good shape with ALL their teeth intact and NO broken bones! I don’t endorse startin a family this late but ppl have their reasons so judging them is rather moot.
I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM. I KNOW THEY REALLY WANTED THIS. U CAN SEE THAT THEY REALY LOVE EACH OTHER,
AS ALWAYS THERE IS ALWAYS SOME FOOL ON THATGRAPEJUICE
If this wasnt supposed to happen now, it wouldnt have.
Mariah is passionate about music and loves her fans, and the risks and sacrifices she has made prove this.
Mariah >>>> your favourite artist.
Wow these comments are enlightening. There are some truly sick people hiding behind their computers.
That said, CONGRATS to Mariah and Nick! As a 50+ woman who never had the joy of carrying to term I understand why she held onto the news for so long. It’s a gut wrenching experience that I hope none of these hard-hearted commenters ever have to experience.
Giving birth is an every day miracle, but a miracle just the same. Don’t take it for granted that you’ll be given the gift of a child.
Finally she announced it! (Not that she had to or anything, but it’s nice to know for sure). aww, it’s really sad that she had to go through a miscarriage though. That must have been tough, especially with the constant media scrutiny and speculation.
Congratulations Mariah and Nick!!! So happy for Mariah. Wish the best to both of them as parents.
MCIIYou out NOV. 2nd!!
@PAULA7236
YOU 50 YEARS OLD ???
MY ADVICE FOR YOU IS THAT YOU GET YO FAT ASS OUTTA BED GET A LIFE, A HUSBAND AND A JOB, HAIRY QUEEN !!!
I cannot imagine Mariah Carey changing a poopy diaper. LOL!! Good thing she has the money to get nannies because there is no way she’s going to be doing the hard stuff. Has she even held a baby before? This is so weird. Mariah can’t even put her own shoes on herself, or hold up her own glass to take a drink, she literally has 20 people doing everything for her. This poor child is going to be raised by a nanny.
Congrats and God Bless. They had to have been nervous to talk about the pregnancy or express congrats because of the miscarriage. They didn’t want to celebrate to soon.
And for people calling her a fat cow, your low self esteem is showing again? Rest in Peace to the good parenting that you must’ve lost …or never had.
I am really trully very happy for her 🙂 🙂 congrats!! even though we kinda already u but congrats non the less lol LYM MIMI!
I CAN IMAGiNE HER GIVING BIRTH.
MARIAH – *IS IT OUT YET?*
MIDWIFE – *IT’S ALMOST HERE!*
MARIAH – *OKAY HONEEEY WHEN IT’S OUT WRAP IT UP AND I’LL PICK IT UP NEXT WEEK, YOU DO THAT HERE RIGHT?*
MIDWIFE – o.O *BLANK STARE*
Thank you that GrapeJuice.net!
I heard it from y’all first!
Congrats to Mariah and Nick…God is awesome!xxx
Dan B is Mad because he will never be able to have a child!
And also when Rihanna has a kid, it will have to be birth by c-section since the forehead will be too big and will stretch her p**** out.
BTW Congrats To Mariah and Nick, Im glad to see her Happy!
Plus I hope is a Girl, I know its gonna grow up to have some Killer pipes! 😀
Trent&Sam really need to ban some of these crackbabies. You know your sick when you can poke fun at a women that has had a misscarriage. Disgusting…
Damn she waited forever to have her 1st baby but took her forever to find true love too; but still good for her. She has a good husband and plenty of $$$ so she’ll be fine.
@Soulful Roses I agree. Danofficial and all of the other ignorant idiots on this post are an embarrassment to the human race.
LMAO @ THE BREEZY THE BASHER STANS TRYING TO COME ACROSS MORAL WHEN THEY’RE IN EVERY RIHANNA POST LAUGHING AT THE FACT THAT SHE WAS ALMOST MURDERD BY FIST BROWN…..
#HYPOCRISY
Just a marketing strategy to boost her Christmas sales….very desperate.
She is a flake !!!! 🙁
I am sure her baby when it grows up…would be an alcoholic just like Mariah…!
To the ignorant idiot known as DanB, I have never made fun of the fact that she was beat up. But I do recall you and some other idiots making fun of that fact. Calling Chris names like “Fist” or “Beat- em- down” is indeed making fun of domestic violence. Therefore, you are the hypocrite.
I went to add especially since you stan or are a fan of the person who was beat up.
*meant* not went
AND MOST OF THESE COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM F*** WHO WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT LIKE TO BE A PARENT, SAD PATHETIC F***,
@JEFF
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID, THEY ARE MAD THAT THEY WILL NEVER HAVE KIDS LOL
@JAYLA
MORE IGNORANCE FROM ANOTHER AFRICAN AMERICAN, THERES A SHOCKER.
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
THIS BABY WILL PROBABLY BE BORN WITH A BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS IN IT’S MOUTH.
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
Wow, ppl on need to stop being so cruel and crazy! Congrats to the happy couple! I hope all goes well this go around.
*on here*
I need coffee…LOL 🙂
“It’s True,……………… I Just Farted”
🙂
Wait till the baby is born. Good luck to an Old MooMoo !!!
My prediction, Nick will divorce her in 2 years tops and run away with a hotter chick from America Got Talent…
Mark my word.. 😉
@DanBUnOfficial
I never made fun of Rihanna getting hit by Chris. But aren’t you the main one calling Chris, Fist and Beat Em’ Down Brown? That within it self shows you have no morals. Your embarrasing yourself. Just sit down and drink a nice hot cup of STFU! Thank You and Good Day 🙂
Dont worry about DanB he is just mad Eddie Long turned him down a chance to ride the holy rod….He probably look like a mix between wanda and shanaenae
@SOULLESS HOT MESS OF ROSES
YOU FIST BROWN STANS NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE ONLY PEOPLE STOPPING HIS CAREER FROM PROGRESING ARE YOU TROLLS (HIS FANS) THE ONES HE HAS LEFT ANYWAY.
LIKE I KEEP SAYING, WHEN YOUR IGNORANCE STOPS, HIS CAREER WILL BEGIN.
THE IGNORANCE ISNT GOING TO STOP THOUGH SO HIS CAREER IS NEVER GOING TO START.
THANKYOU B******, THE PRESIDENT HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
Dear Lord this is outrageous. Making fun of a woman that suffered a miscarriage AND making fun of her unborn.
SAM, TRENT
please ban this repulsive creature Danbofficial! URGH!
I can’t believe how many haters are here.
This time we don’t talk about Mariah’s music ot her voice. It’s her first baby. Everyone must be happy for her and Nick.
good lord!
Some of you people on here needs jesus!
Congrats to them. Omg that baby will be adorable
I wish her a healthy pregnancy!
I suppose it’s just a coincidence that she announces this before the release of her tacky lil’ Xmas album. Mariah, the manipulator, strikes again. Nothing about this woman is sincere.
WE KNEW MARIAH. CONGRATS TO MIMI AND NICK
Her plastic b00bies are only a few years old, more of a risk of saline/silicone in her milk, little Nick will be the taster…….yummi…. 🙁
She’s as fake as her boobs. Just we need another plastic baby born into this world… !
*DEAD*
I do find it funny that she decides to announce it a few days before her album comes out. Too bad this won’t make her sales any higher. What a media w****. Millions upon millions of women have miscarriages all the time, she’s no different or any better than the woman walking down the street that had a miscarriage. Sure it’s sad, but she’s nobody special or any different just because she wrote some hit songs.
And I announce have a pimple on my a$$.
You Lambs bother? 😉
Yea seriously get this board under control…its depressing when the haters take over posting over and over under different names and are just so nasty to artists in genera….not even just Mariah….I mean come on
Congratulations to Mariah and Nick! I’m so happy for them!
Also, I’m so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. It’s hard for anyone of course, but it must be even more difficult when you’re in the public eye. Looking back it’s no wonder that all of her interviews and performances seemed off. It must have been so hard pretending that everything was going great.
To all the haters, she felt she had to announce it before her album drops because the question would have definitely come up during the promo. Mariah is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever seen. The love and devotion she shows to her fans is unparalleled, and fiercely returned. It must be sad that your favorites don’t appreciate you as much. :/
wow ‘@ the fact that ppl still managed to find negative things to say about this
@DANBOFFICIAL
Will you please SHUT THE F*** UP!!! You are the only person on this post that i’ve seen the most… Why don’t you hop off of Mariah’s c*** & hop back on Riri’s since you stan her.
Now onto the post, Congrats Mariah & Nick, though i wish you all had done it sooner than maybe Mariah wouldnt be under public scrutiny. Oh well, anyways, that kid is gonna be living in a gold mind.
Some of these comments are just unquestionably HORRIFFIC!!! Congrats @ Nick and Mariah… God bless them both and their baby : )
By the time she’s about to birth this baby, they’ll have to carry her around on a forklift.
and my god, she’s barely 4 months in and she already needs 5 people to adjust her on the couch? She’s going to be the most annoying and dramatic pregnant woman ever!
Congrats!!!
Somebody should DELETE these hateful comments and BAN them…
If people have some constructive and grounded criticism then it’s ok, but when they’re just talking and throwing their sh*t I think it’s just POLLUTING this blog…
DELETE & BAN… It’s not CENSORSHIP, it’s just cleaning the NOISE…
@ GURL…
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Leave her alone 😛 HeHe
hooray
LEAVE HER ALONE! LOOK AT YOURSELF BEFORE YOU JUDGE!
Ignore Ignoranance…and the ignorant people that fit the description!! People do not feed into these heartless clowns, you are giving them exactly what they want! Every fool has an opinion, but it’s the clever man that speak facts!!
